Anorectal Lidocaine 5% Cream, 15g

RectiCare is one of the strongest over-the-counter topical creams you can buy for hemorrhoid and anorectal discomfort because it uses 5% lidocaine, which is the highest non-prescription lidocaine strength available. Its main job is simple: numb the area fast, and it does that very well. Within a short time of applying, it noticeably reduces: burning itching soreness pain during flare-ups or after bowel movements This makes daily activities much more tolerable when symptoms are at their worst. Many users in hemorrhoid and anorectal care discussions mention 5% lidocaine creams like RectiCare as one of the few products that provide true immediate comfort when irritation is intense. Application is easy, and a very small amount goes a long way. The cream spreads smoothly and starts numbing fairly quickly without a strong medicinal smell. That said, it is important to understand what this product does and does not do: - It provides rapid temporary pain relief - It does not shrink hemorrhoids - It does not heal fissures - It does not treat the root cause of anorectal disorders Even the manufacturer positions it specifically as a pain/itch/burning relief cream rather than a curative treatment. If swelling reduction is needed, RectiCare actually sells a separate “Advanced” formula that adds phenylephrine for hemorrhoid shrinking. So this is best thought of as a symptom-management product — excellent for getting through painful flare-ups, travel, workdays, or nighttime discomfort, but not something that solves the underlying issue by itself. Pros: -Fast numbing relief from pain, burning, and itching -Maximum OTC 5% lidocaine strength -Easy to apply, small amount works well -Helpful during severe flare-ups -Good temporary comfort after bowel movements Cons: -Relief is temporary only -Does not cure hemorrhoids or fissures -Small tube for the price -Some users may need frequent reapplication during bad flare-ups Overall: An excellent “keep on hand” cream for rapid hemorrhoid discomfort relief. If you need immediate numbing and soothing, this works very well — just know it is for symptom control, not long-term healing.

The cream worked better than I expected bringing relief in just a few minutes. Product was delivered in good condition and arrived on time.

I bought this after many other products failed me. Not only did I have pretty decent relief from the horrible itching but I healed up in just a few treatments. This was surprising as I'd been miserable for weeks and unable to sleep. The tube is tiny and expensive but worth it.

i tried a few brands for my issue. and this one worst the best. however, the 15 ml is very expensive for what you get. it is tiny. instead, i recommend the 30 ml they sell is a better value. for the product effectiveness this works great. it doesnt replace a doctors office visit. however, it is handy as you wait to see your doctor. the cost of price is highest you can pay for treatment comparing to other brands. but i really need something that works. so i still recommend it however LOOK at the size be AWARE what size you will get before ordering you will not be able to return it (even when not opened) when you buy the wrong size.

All you need. Get a toilet squirter and this stuff and say goodbye to hemorrhoids.

Barely anything in the tube. Way overpriced for such a small amount. Doesn't work at all. Wondering if what's in the tube is even what it's supposed to be. Very disappointed.

Works as described

It really works and provides temporary pain relief. This was the recommended brand by my colorectal doctor in the past. It is a small travel size tube but I was aware when choosing it by the size mentioned in the description. I gave it 3 stars because it arrived damaged and no aluminum seal on the tube as I've always had in the past. That seal is the only thing that lets you know it hasn't been opened in my opinion.
